Sherry Braised Chicken
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Chicken is an excellent source of high-quality protein and B vitamins, yet is low in saturated fat.
Ingredients:
6
ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1
large onion, coarsely chopped
1
cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4
cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

jars (7 ounces each) or 1 can (15 ounces) straw mushrooms, drained
6
ounces uncooked Chinese egg noodles or vermicelli, cooked and drained
1/4
cup thinly sliced green onions
Preparation:
1.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken; cook 5 minutes. Remove and reserve.
